# WVROX — West Virginia RObotics Xtreme

**Website:** (search for latest info)
**Hosted by:** Team 2614 (MARS)
**Duration:** 26 hours and 14 minutes straight — the only FRC endurance event in the world

---

## What Makes WVROX Unique

Most FRC events run 1-2 days. WVROX is different — it's an endurance marathon:
- **26+ hours continuous operation**
- **Bi-annual schedule** (every other year)
- **Live webcast** — watch from anywhere

## Why It Matters for 2890

- **Driver endurance training** — 26 hours is nothing like a normal match day
- **Robot stress testing** — run the robot hard for a full day, find weaknesses
- **Scouting marathon** — watch hundreds of matches, build comprehensive scout data
- **Team stamina** — tests the whole team, not just drivers

## Training Applications

| Area | How WVROX Helps |
|------|----------------|
| Driver endurance | No substitute for hours behind the wheel |
| Robot reliability | Find mechanical/electrical issues under sustained load |
| Scouting | Full day of match observation across many teams |
| Strategy | Adapt game plan over a long event |
| Team operations | Practice pit crew endurance and shift rotations |
| Mental stamina | Competition pressure over an extended period |

## 2026 Status

Monitor for announcements. Next event depends on bi-annual schedule.
